There's already been talk that the next game is called Horizon. Hell if I know that is legitimate or not, but I think we'll end up not getting the DLC which is a shame, but I'd rather a new full game from QD in a couple years rather than some DLC anyway.

I liked Heavy Rain enough, but I did think it was deeply flawed. I would honestly like to see them move on to something new. Maybe this will also stop people from defending the games plot holes by saying they'll be explained in DLC.

That's fucked. I loved the game and likely always will. It is by no mean perfect but it is one of the most amazing titles I have played in a long time and after all this talk of other episodes coming down the pike this sort of thing is inexcusable. Move?? Really?? Your next project?? Really?? Ugh. Horizon or whatever better be absolutely STUNNING in every possible way to forgive this.

I'm imagining the makeout scene.

Now I'm trying not to.

I'd rather see Quantic Dream get on to their next project. No one else is making games like Heavy Rain and I'd rather have a second complete game a few months sooner than a useless throw away DLC episode.

Heavy Rain was so bad I didn't even download my free episode.

PASS.

I'd rather see and HD remake of Omikron.

Sure, it had tech flaws in some spots of dialogue choice and the story was a bit average horror movie overall...and no one could defend the walking animations as inspiring.
Still, all games have flaws and Quantic, especially David Cage, took characters, choice and situations in a videogame to a level few others have.
I can look past a lot of flaws in any game, if the good outweighs it. And Heavy Rain was a bold step out to what most companies would never even greenlight for fear of commercial suicide to push the medium as an artform and proof it can be about more than just shooting people. And that there was an adult audience looking for emotion being brought to games.
It'll get better with time, I hope, but as a trailblazer this is a damn good game and brave (financially) artistic statement to the developers making their vision without bending to focus groups.
Tip of the hat, Quantic. I appreciate and had fun with your game and would have bought the next DLC. Keep on doing your thing, some of us out there dig it, even if the one's who don't tend to be more vocal.

Which brings the thought, can written words be vocal?

Urgh, shutting up. Quantic, you're cool with me. Because I'm capable of appreciating both the Call Of Duty's and the Heavy Rains of the world. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

in other words, it didnt' sell what it needed to

It wasn't THE PERFECT GAME, don't get me wrong, but it was pretty interesting and pretty exciting nevertheless.

I know it's trendy to bitch about HR, but come on guys, they were trying to do something new and interesting, and in the end (I hate using sales figures as "proof" that something is good, but..) It sold pretty bloody well considering.

Now this news doesn't bother me, I bought it, played through once, REALLY ENJOYED IT, loaned it out to a couple of friends, who also enjoyed it, and then traded it in.

I justy couldn't bring myself to start it again after finishing the story. Was worried about turning the experience into a game where I was trying to do things differently and that would ruin the experience for me.

So yeah, I'd prefer another full game than some DLC for a game I don't own anymore.

I liked Heavy Rain. It was an interesting continuation of the experience of Indigo Prophecy. Just.. hire a different team of writers.

This isn't horrible news. The Taxidermist was awful and had I actually paid for it, I would have been mighty upset. It was incredibly short, the "endings" were pathetic and the voice for Madison was different than in the game. Sure, there were some interesting mechanics that weren't in the main game, but over all, I felt it was garbage and if the other DLC was anything like it, then it wouldn't be worth the money at all anyway. Loved the game though and looking forward to their next project.
